The fact that the phone and the PC are communicating is good. Now you just have to wait for some smart person that knows the boot code your phone is missing. I've got nothing.

did you try my solution? my x10 is running again. Even if I couldnt root anymore after boot i didnt have to because Semc debrand engine kernel works... maybe you could try it I dont care do what you want :)

JTAG Repair - you mean I must go to the special service?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keenofhiphop:
AW: X10i won't boot - I tried everything (YES! Everything!)

Check "No final verification" and you can flash everything. I flashed the Cupcake Rom. Did it till it booted (I needed 3 trys). If it does not after so many trys it must be another error :/

then I had cupcake, let it be for a half hour, checked "Unknown Sources" and "Usb Debugging", then updated with PcCompanion to 2.3.3. Again let it be and check "Unknown Sources" and Usb Debugging" like before, then flashed Achjotans Semc Debrand Engine Kernel, no root or anything else (Bootloader is rooted/ unlocked of course) and then booted in recovery and flashed a rom (Dixperia 8 btw).

Working now :)

Are you sure you tried it exactly this way? Maybe a new try would help it... I hope you can do it.

You should definitly try to contact the guys doing flashtool and see if there's a way to force the install.

It should be possible to force to write directly without checking anything, but your case is special since you flashed a wrong device kernel.

I pulled an old WEP-only router out of the basement and used that - even though it was not connected to the internet.

It stalls a little bit - presumably trying to contact Google's servers - but eventually falls through without complaining about anything.

So apparently all you need is to associate with the wifi AP and get an IP address, even if packets can't route and DNS fails. LOL

If that doesn't work, there's got to be an open WiFi near you someplace - put a WiFi scanner on your phone and go for a drive.

I've noticed strange issue. Music player us turning on itself randomly. I'm using now latest Frayab update of stock rom but this happened in the past with several other ROMs. ie when I'm driving car and talking by hf set i can see pause icon in stat bar. Only way to get rid ov it is to run music player and turn it off in its menu.

It is annoying.

Which one you are using ?

Or your just applied Screen Protector on front and back.

Can you provide you opinion on quality of back glass, does it require SP to protect against scratches ?
[Xperia Z Accessories] Akiainavas:
I'm using this one on the back:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPIGEN-SG...ting_LaptopAccessories_RL&hash=item2a29310e3a

On the fronst I applied the one that Sony put in Xperia Z box.

The back is made of Gorilla Glass 2 so it's as scratch resistant as any other high-end phone these days, there is an anti-shatter film applied on it though, and this film is not that scratch resistant. My opinion: use SP on front and back to prevent the anti-shatter film from scratching. The longer you can keep it on, the better ( although it ( the antishatter film ) can always be removed and replaced with another screen protector )

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] iampain13:
Hi everyone,

I just rooted my phone last night and now i'm ready to explore android. I know the question is probably been asked 1000 times but what do i do from here? I got Titanium app but that's about it. How can I:

1. Remove Bloatware

2. Get custome ROMS

3. Protect my device from malicous wares

4. Get new Widgets

5. Get paid apps? for free?

6. Modify Home Screens

7. etc

Please guide me.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] inspron:
1) Use TI to remove any Bloatware you dont want. Just make sure you do a full backup before toying around. Google "Nandroid" if you dont know how.

2) To each their own. If you want to keep wifi calling you must use one of the Tmobile based custom rom. Jedi Master 10 Rom is great.

3) See 5

4)

5) The devil is knocking but dont do it. Many of the great apps are already fee. Their are VERY FEW paid apps thats worth even the download. For those, its worth it just to pay a few dollars to get endless updates and feature improvements. I came from iOS, and over the years, I came to the realization that apps that are worth pirating is worth paying for. $2 or $3 are peanuts if I really like the apps and want all the latest features. Going the pirate route opens a world of hurt because anyone can infect these pirated apps. You really are ASKING FOR IT. Once you buy an app, you get it for life, so the next android device you run, these apps will continue to be useful. Pirating, honestly, is just a pain the ass. In iOS I would pirate to honestly try out an app, 90% of which I never even use a gain. In Android, its just too risky to be infected with malware. Pirating Android apps is just not worth the hassle.

6) Go wild, try Nova Launcher free
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] iampain13:
Thanks for the advice. I'll do a search for Jedi Master 10 Rom. The problem is I still haven't mess around much so I don't really know how ROM works or installing them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
The "basic" understanding, for now, when it comes to roms is only flash ones strictly designated for your particular phone model. At least until you get more comfortable with this device, that should be rule number 1. Next thing is to decide what kind of rom you prefer, as there are two basic categories as of right now. 1. Touchwiz based, and, 2. AOSP, AOKP, or other nonTW based roms (like CM, paranoid Android, carbon, etc).

A lot would breakdown 1. Touchwiz based into two subcategories A. Stock (or rooted-stock) and B. Custom TW based... really no difference here but if you like allshare than stay stock (or rooted stock) where as if you dont use allshare then a custom TW still keeps full SPen functionality while allowing OC/UV and other rom specific features, etc.

If TW doesn't float your boat, or you'd rather stay more up to date with like latest 4.2+ releases then option 2 (AOSP, AOKP, etc) roms will be your best bet...

As far as rooting you got various ways but all threads provide adequate instructions

Custom recovery has 2 options CWM and TWRP (I use TWRP, but it shouldn't make a difference, unless the flash OP calls for either one).. Also Odin/Mobile Odin is something you may want to look into

Don't flash anything that mess with your modem/radio/efs (unless you know what your doing and have the right backups)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleepy8686:
If you run custom roms no need to worry about bloatware really if you just plan to root just freeze with TB dont uninstall as that can cause some bad behavior. On a side note I highly recommend Jedi XX its awesome!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] offdutyninja808:
